Keep in Shape- Behavior Plans
I am a firm believer in positive praise and reinforcement in order to encourage students to behave in an appropriate manner to allow us a rich learning environment. I do, however, recognize that we are still early learners and will not always be able to make right choices all of the time. These mistakes are, after all, how we learn to become better students.
My goal is to encourage students to think about their behavior and strive for good choices. If a student does not react to positive reinforcement he/she will be given a reminder of the expected behavior. If the behavior continues, after two-three warnings are granted, and the student is disrupting the flow of learning not only for themselves but, also those around them a reflection sheet will be filled out. It is here that the student will share what is happening on paper which will then be shared with you at home. If necessary, I will call home so that you and I, together, can work to get your back on track in order for him/her to be getting the most out of his/her learning.
We have a really GREAT group and I do not anticipate any problems however, I do not expect perfection and recognize that we all have our days!!! Please know that the students and I have discussed this program together and they are fully aware of their responsibilities and the consequences.
